Why have I never asked this question.If Trump thinks Russia has his back in 2020, why would he cook up this idiot scheme with unwilling partner Ukraine? Of course the wheels came off, they were held on with scotch tape.Has Vlad soured on him? Hoping a Democrat Landslide will ease off sanctions if he doesn't meddle?Is it a distraction from something else-- Like the coming of Tsar Donald I? (No impeachment, then, the police and the bikers won't let it happen.)Or is he really THAAAAT STUUUUPID?

A montage of pics showing Parnas and the Strumpet together will make a point, even if there was a Judge to tell the representatives to playlike they didn't see it.

I think embarrassing the new Ukrainian Pres. and letting Russia invade them again is Putin's plan. To destabilize the middle east, get US out, or only doing what Putin wants. Trump is being played like a balalyka (however you spell that), and he is so clueless think's he's the deal maker. He is a joke.

But Trump and his ilk will never raise a pinky against Vlad.

Sorry not sorry, we are turfing these bags of scum and wads of dick in a mere 12 months, so Vlad had best find a new friend cuz we aren't going to play nice.

Whichever Dem wins, they have to know that we have to see justice for the election interference and eventual install of the Orange Goon and subsequent rot in America.No free passes, no playing nice nice, no bygones being bygones bullshit. Its payback time.

Lev and Igor can pound sand. For one thing, true patriots have furnished enough credible info to sink the Trumptanic. For another, Feds have already been played badly by Flynn, Manafort, etc. No point in kissing another Russky ass for nothing in return.

I'm betting that Lev Parnas has a brother in Russia who is going to show up at the hearing when Lev appears to testify and he'll be sitting between a friend of Saudi Prince Bonesaw and the oligarch whose company makes polonium.

"And indeed, Pence did not attend Zelenskiy's inauguration"

No indeedy, the administration sent third stringer and Texas fold-em expert Rick Perry to shake em down on energy as well.

I want to see the warrants go out and congress tie these assholes in fucking knots

The meeting took place at an outdoor cafe in Kyiv last May ...

I get a mental image of the mafiya types in Brighton Beach sitting around a Little Odessa café stirring their tea with sugar sticks.

"Serhiy Shefir, an aide to then President-elect . . . " I'm not sure if my first reaction to seeing that name was "And don't call me Shirley" or "Surly to bed and Surly to rise . . . "
